N IMPERATIVE DUTY is laid upon the police of the city to stop the ruthles# killing of men, women and children in the streets by automobiles. One hundred and thirty-two people killed by motor vehicles in nine months ending Sept. means that at the same rate the year 1913 will count one hundred and seventy-six euch deaths as against one hundred and forty-six for 1912. A grim advance, In all these cases there have been only thirty-seven arrests and nine persons held for action by the Grand Jury. The average citizen must regard these figures with amazement and horror. With the juggernaut mail wagons that pretend to be beyond the reach of the law, the heavy trucks that hourly break the law, and the thousands of smaller motor vehicles that carelessly juggle with life and death ‘n the streets, the automobile begins to seem as much curse as blessing to the city. Why is the number of arrests in proportion to the number of fatal accidents so small? We have made careful laws to protect pedestrians. Why are they not enforced? If necessary, let us have a special Auto Squad to look after the safety of the streets. One thing is sure, If every chauffeur in New York were thor- oughly convinced that whenever he ran anybody down he would be arrested and, if convicted of carelessness, sent to jail, we should have no such record of automobile fatalities. We defer too much to the motor and all that goes with it. must take a firmer grip on the automobile. — “McCall's Lips Sealed."—Headline, Ditto his doom, a SMOKERS, BE GRATEFUL. MOKERS may take heart {rom the fect that women took their side in the argument before the Public Service Commission for special smoking privileges on surface and elevated cars. Even Dr. Pease and his carefully rehearsed female objectors could not claim to represent all women in their wholesale denunciation of smoking. Smokers are apt to be charitable folk who are kind toward other people’s failings. Most women who are not down on smoking are in the came clase. But it is always the people, women especially, who are eager to correct the faults of others who most willingly present themselves in public for that purpose. Gentle-minded souls who have no quarrels with their neighbors’ habits don’t go out of their way to fight for their own. The women who were brave enough to say s good word for the smokers represented thousands of others who were too shy to como. Let the Public Service Commission remember the fact when it weighs the evidence. We — of Can The Chief stand another such week? ++ -_____ FIFTY YEARS AFTER. HE Emancipation Exposition which the negroes are holding in this city as a semi-centennial celebration of the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation by Abraham Lincoln ought to prove an instructive and valuable lesson. It will do many people a lot of good to see gathered before thelr eyes concrete proofs of what the negro can do not only in industry ‘and science, but also in literature and art. The exhibits shown are entirely the work of negroes. The most interesting part of the Expo- sition is, naturally, the portion that represents the progress of the face in America. Ethnological sharps may be a trifle astonished at the free and easy manner in which the ancient Egyptians and their belongings have been adopted into the ancestry of the negro. But it is und puted fact that the ancient Egyptians lived in Africa and that the negroes came from there, and anyhow the ancient Egyptians ure making no complaints. -4-—_____ Luckily for the country the man to sit up and watch with the Mexican situation ts the same cool head that took Huerta’s measure.
